Beds were really comfortable the shower was large with a view of the pilansburg park. Rooms were luxurious and spacious. In room facilities were great with daily refresh of water, coffees, teas and biscuits etc... The included game drives were always entertaining and enjoyable Highly recommend my stay, it was a great getaway from city life. If 1 recommendation I can make would be to include more high protein vegetarian meals for the included dinner. ##### Sean Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elena 6 Oct 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness The area is wonderful, the game drives were the highlight of our trip, we saw different animals on each ride. The lodge was good too, the staff was friendly, food was ok, it was a bit noisy to be in a room by the pool but there was no option to select the room location on Expedia. Inside it was a bit dated and there were bugs (but it is in the wilderness so hard to keep them out). There were elephants coming almost to the restaurant which was amazing to see them right there. The entire idea to put this lodge at edge of the park is brilliant, it was a great experience overall ##### Elena Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Claudia 5 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property with an excellent Spa. The only thing we didn't like was the Safaris. The drivers were rude, not willing to stop to see the animals, and did not explain anything interesting. Just drivers, but not guide,s and it's better to do self-drive safaris ##### Claudia Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyrone 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff is incredible, the food is incredible, clean, a lot to do and just all around good package ##### Tyrone Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was excellent in my opinion. The staff are happy and friendly. We were lucky on our afternoon game drives we saw lots of animals. The morning game drive was very quiet, probably due to the cold weather conditions. The buffet was well catered for. The room was very comfortable and spacious. I highly recommend this property. Thanks team, fabulous. ##### Sally Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariska 23 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff and services were excellent ##### Mariska Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great hotel, with really good structure.

This is a place geared for families and if that suits you, I don't believe you can do better. Food is buffet style with loads of selection or you can order from the menu. ##### Roger Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The set up of the lodge is like a center parcs style safari stay. It may be pricy but if you factor in the game drive and half board, it is actually quite reasonable. The safari trips were excellent with the driver/guide providing excellent knowledge. We absolutely loved the bush braai with African entertainment. The room was amazing with everything we asked for provided with plenty of space. Lovely swimming pool and the view of the watering hole is second to none. ##### Dave Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger 19 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great value and experiance.
